You really couldn't believe how saturated the US media is with campaign coverage right now. It is *really* bad. I just turned on the tube for the morning news over breakfast and it was all Palin speech on every major channel, and headline was on campaign news. Switched the channel to History and got a campaign ad.... click ... open the newspaper instead... campaign coverage on the front page. Seriously, my political sense of humor is pretty shot right now. I even took down my calender which counts down the days remaining of Bush in office. ... yes, it's that bad.

As of late there's been really no difference between humor and spin. In general I love joking about politics but it's gotten to the point here where I just can't take it anymore. I'm completely burned out.

Are you guys voting at all?

Heh, I missed being able to vote by like three months. I wish the voting age were higher, though; listening to people in my history class talk about who they're going to vote for and why is sickening: you can tell they're just going with the flow

That's the way a large percentage of adults reason out their vote as well, so you might as well get used to that queazy feeling.
